Balmain Spring 2011 Ready To Wear

Firstly, let's make it clear - I love Balmain. It's just one of those brands for me when I can say "oh I'd totally wear that" about every single outfit. Amazing.
The collection was very rebellious. It's like a big fashion and punk-rock mash-up. A lot of leather, jeans, distressing, bleaching, studs, glitter and safety pins. They also had used the stars-and-stripes motive which in my opinion adds a lot to the items. I was somewhat surprised how they had brought back the legendary three quarter pants. I've never been a fan of those to be honest but Balmain managed to change my mind about that. Another good thing about this collection is that it's super DIY-able - you can create similar studded leather jackets and distressed jeans easily at home.
In conclusion I found this collection very inspiring and I give it a big thumbs up.
